hi team, i
s there a limit on how many API calls ONTAP would process concurrently? We have a use case that a script will in possibly send in 200 APIs call within a second to create one nnew export-policy rule per policy for 200 different policies. we want to understand if ONTAP will process all 200 API calls concurrently? Or if there is a concurrent limit?
thank you!

Is the API to the Cluster managment LIF or a vServer management LIF? it does matter

thank you James for the info. So if I understood correctly, the default setting allows ONTAP to handle 2 concurrent API calls? Are there any recommendations on a "safe" higher threshold?

I honestly cannot respond to either question, but your second question may have an answer in the Hardware Universe as it’s likely hardware platform and ONTAP version dependent.

Thanks, James!

Also, as it is true for any finite resources, the true number of concurrent api calls for your particular setup may be determined by relatively simple prototype code, issuing N test calls (similar in size/weight as your intended production apis) 'at-once' and observing/logging/measuring the responses. Also, with gradual increase of N, it can be observed how exactly the limits are hit, what are the errors, and also use that knowledge to develop proper error handling and cleanup procedures... I did such test myself when faced with similar problem...
